Because politicians and corporations think the best solution to labor shortages isn't raising wages but instead of importing third worlders who will work for low wages.

That's why we need a day of the rope.

If you haven't understood that there are mechanisms that make people poorer, you haven't been paying attention. Inflation is high, supply can't be easily modified by policy so they are killing demand, demand is still high due to the amount of money still in the system so they are just going to keep hacking at it until it gets into a manageable position.

Companies are going to shrink for the time being, lots and lots of companies are about to get wiped, they just managed to get one more robbery in before closing doors through corona gibs and mega money printing.

They used an incredibly blunt instrument to try and salvage the economy and delay the pain (((ignore the billions that got "reallocated"))) and now we're all going to see the pain from the coronaomics

It's simple, there are no labour shortages, labour is excessive, companies just can't find people with necessary skills. This is specially true in Data field.

It’s because the cost of doing business is becoming to high. I cannot raise my prices fast enough to cover material and extraneous state regulatory bullshit that has nothing to do with selling products. Every month it’s another 2 or three thousand dollars in the toilet that is various fines registrations and taxes. On top of it you have all these at least in my state paid leave requirements and safe shelter insurance requirements which thst state mandates abd cost upwards of 10,000.oo a year. On top of that, some big distribution guys may take 100, 160 days to pay for the product so not only are you bleeding money on taxes and regulatory bulls hit, your having your customers ride on your credits. On top of it anytime you want to hire some extra part time help you have useless pissants wanting 30 dollar an hour plus tip plus unlimited sick time for part time warehouse work. It’s just untenable.

There isn't a labour shortage. There are plenty of people who could take the missing jobs but companies refuse to pay the market clearing wage. A labour shortage is when there is not enough people around so companies have to compete with each other by constantly raising wages. That's not what we are seeing.
We are seeing secular stagnation and a cost-of-living crisis which has made working unattractive.
You will never hear the people in charge addmitting that the economy is fucked so they come up with these bullshit narratives to gaslight people. "Labour shortage" is essentially fake news.

If there's no labour shortage where are the people to do the labour?

>> No.49740210 [DELETED] 

>>49740105

Did you read my post? There are plenty of people willing to come in to work for the right wage. Employers don't want to pay that wage so that's why people are not working.
What we have is not a shortage of labour, it's a shortage of employeers willing to pay the market clearing wage that would attract staff. That is not the same thing as a labour shortage.
Before 2008 you would see real labour shortages where employeers had to outbid each other to attract staff. That is not the situation today.

Let me give you an example.
There is a need for 200 restaurant workers in an area but only 100 is available. That's a labour shortage.
What we have now is a need for 200 restaurant workers. 400 are available for the right price but nobody wants to pay that price. That's not a labour shortage.
